Pioneer is 3 years old on Monday 30th

[tomm]

Hi people,I checked the timestamps on a very old snapshot of Pioneer, and it turns out the project was born on the 30th may 2008, so Pioneer is 3 years old on Monday. Those early days were a fornicatory scramble to get everything coded as quickly as possible. I thought I would have a game in 4 weeks, and version 1.0 in a year...Here are some screenshots from June 1st 2008, when Pioneer was just 2 days old:[attachment=721:ok3.png][attachment=720:ok2.png][attachment=719:ok.png]

In 1993, you would have signed a contract with a publisher and sold this :]

I took a look at my first download, alpha 2. It's amazing and wonderful to see how far we've come since that time. Thanks to tomm and everybody else involved, at whatever level. This project is very special to me. And Happy Birthday Pioneer! This toddler is starting to walk!
